"I think the current situation in the Movement For Karabakh and the Republic is inadequate and non-standard,” said Ali Aliyev, Chairman of the Azerbaijan Citizens’ and Development Party, member of the Movement for Karabakh and Republic.
“Why? Because this movement was created prior to a referendum this year, and this process identified which organizations can say something in our country. That is, the format was not artificially created. I think in its present form the movement is disadvantageous for all opposition as a whole. We wanted to create a more serious format, but, unfortunately, we have not been able to do so,” he said.

"It is too early to say what we will achieve. It is early to talk about any decisions and steps. We will think about a format for the opposition in general and try to make this format represent a wider range of forces. I think that the opposition is doomed to joint action. I think we will think about it,” Aliyev said.

Musavat party, member of the Movement for Karabakh and the Republic urges Umid Party to withdraw its members from the electoral commissions. Umid Party stated that it will do so if the members of the parliamentary group of the Musavat renounce their mandates. The emerging tensions between the two parties has caused a serious crisis in the movement.

The Movement for Karabakh and Republic was established by the Azerbaijan Popular Front Party, Citizens and Development, Liberal, Democratic, Musavat, Umid prior to the referendum on amendments and additions to the Constitution which took place on March 18, 2009.
